NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

However I left it in the sun for a few weeks and it got a bit sunburned with the darker grain coming through. Anyone have this happen to them? https://i.imgur.com/3HFdOBT.jpg 2016 Les Pau...

Thanks for the tips. I didn't think of the oven tray great idea!

Bit of an update. I noticed that touching the control plate and the back panel seemed to quieten the hum. I initially thought it was my body creating some sort of grounding (probably was). I then tried a wire from the chassis to the bolt that attaches the tube cage to the back panel, see below. That...

Little hack to secure the 9 volt input jack to the JHF1 without drilling holes or using too much gaffer tape. The cable passes between the bottom plate and the housing with some tape rolled up either side to make a "channel" so it doesn't squash the cable too much. Gigrig virtual battery f...

Update: Wife went out to grab some groceries. Gave me a chance to dime it, bridge the inputs etc etc. Bloody hell - I think I need an attenuator now. Sounds awesome! Having owned a MPC 5E3 clone a while back (one with an annoying hiss) they're an interesting beast to mess around with. The "int...

Thanks I'm running a 12AY7 in the V1, the 12AX7/12At7 was V2. Cheers
